Eswg Information Booklet On Nais
The Equine Species Working Group (ESWG) has developed an informational booklet titled NAIS and Horses: the Facts Surrounding the National Animal Identification System as it Applies to the Horse Industry in the U.S.
This booklet was put together in an effort to answer the many questions and concerns that have been raised from the equine industry on the very important and difficult issue of the potential application of the national ID system to horses. The booklet addresses the following topics: history of the NAIS, why the horse industry should be involved in developing an acceptable NAIS, equine diseases of concern, methods of equine identification, potential benefits, current status of the NAIS, frequently asked questions, and a list of Equine Species Working Group members.
It is important that equine organizations, events, service providers and horse owners know the facts so they can learn about the NAIS, the efforts of the ESWG, and how a national equine identification plan might affect them, should one become mandatory. We encourage industry members to not only become educated on the issue by reading this material, but to also distribute it throughout the industry. The booklet is available to download from the American Horse Council website: www.horsecouncil.org.
Mosquito Torpedo
The PreStrike Mosquito Torpedo stops mosquitoes from emerging from standing water pools, birdbaths, water gardens, ornamental fountains, and animal watering troughs for 60 days. Unlike other larvicides which linger on the water surface, leave debris, and turn water a brownish color, the Mosquito Torpedo does not affect water clarity and will not harm animals, fish, or vegetation.

Fleeceworks™ To Offer Merino Wool Saddle Pads
Fleeceworks™, the San Diego- based company known for its top quality 100% Australian Merino sheepskin saddle pads and accessories, is proud to present its new line of 100% Australian Merino wool saddle pads.
Why wool? Wool, while not as luxurious as Merino sheepskin, offers some of the same benefits at a much lower price point, and is very easy to care for. In a saddle pad, wool provides a thermal balancing layer that wicks heat away from the horse's back-something that acrylic fleece cannot.
For riders who prefer the lower cost and tough durability of wool, Fleeceworks™ is offering the option in a wide range of its most popular and innovative products. These pads are sold at a suggested retail price of $89.00. Also offered are white quilted square pads with 100% Australian Merino wool lining under the saddle area. These pads are available in either All Purpose or Dressage models and are sold at a suggested retail price of $76.00.
All Fleeceworks™ products come with full two year warranty against manufacturing defects. For further information, please contact Sue Sawyer: 818.954.8668 or Sue@Fleeceworks.com or visit Fleeceworks website: www.Fleeceworks.
